If scholars had different ideas to Shi Huangdi, their ruler, he would gather books that contained ideas he didn't approve of and he would burn them. If scholars disagreed with him they were buried alive. Shi Huangdi was a strong ruler that brought China together. He believed that people should be controlled and punished.
Qin Shi Huangdi burned all history books. He burned them because they discussed history, or previous regimes, and he did not want 'competition' so to speak. If any rulers or leaders were talked about in books, he had them burned because he was called "The Only First"; which he came up with himself. He was the first emperor of China, and was a cruel leader.

Since Qin Shihuangdi ruled cruelly as a tyrant, scholars criticized him and said that the "old ways" were better. This angered Qin and he ordered the scholars to be executed and all of their books to be burned (except for the ones about medication, family, fortune telling and the Qin dynasty). 460 scholars tried to hide the books but they were caught and thrown into pits to be buried alive.
